Author's Note: Yeah. We've been in a slum lately. LOL.
We're halfway there to our goal,
but the men block our way.
It's like the world
is moving really fast,
and we just can't keep up.

She walks through the park, trying to really notice things. He likes these gardens, because he said it reminds him of big, open spaces and freedom. He said he likes that he could wander, lose track of time and not care. He would be too busy thinking about nothing to care about anything around him. Back then, he had nothing to worry about.
When he asked if she wanted to come, she agreed, not wanting to imagine the times he came here alone. Once, when her curisoity bested her, she asked him, "Isn't it lonely when you come by yourself?"
He smiled the kind of smile she misses in him: that smile that hides no lies. "I don't notice."
She misses the time when he was honest. He had that twinkle in his eyes when he told the truth: a reminder of his light-heartedness. She misses that about him, too. She misses him.
Maybe she'll see that twinkle again if he survives. They can come back to the gardens and he can stare at her with that light-heartedness. She wants to watch him smile as she picks a rose for him and say thank you.
If that happens, she'll say thank you back. But somehow, she's not certain it will.
